Craig and Manny held hands while walking to Emma's house. Once they reached her house they rung the doorbell. Spike
answered.
"Hey Manny," said Spike. She then noticed Craig, "Hey Craig."
"Hi Mrs. Nelson," said Manny, "May we come inside."
"Of coarse," said Spike.
The three of them sat at the table in the kitchen.
"Where's Emma," asked Manny.
"She's at JT's house," said Spike.
Manny really hoped that Emma wouldn't say anything about her pregnancy to JT but she was reall sure that Emma would tell
JT. After all Manny had treated her like dirt.
"So what brings you here?" asked Spike.
"We want to know if we can help take care of Baby Jack to see how well we can take care of a baby," said Manny.
"Yeah," Craig added in.
"Okay, well, Snake and I are going to the movies tomarrow night. Originally I was going to ask Emma to babysit for Jack but
now I think it would be a good idea for the two of you to do."
"Thank you, Mrs. Nelson, we really apprieciate it," said Manny.
"You're very welcome," said Spike, "But I need to ask you an important question."
"What is it?" asked Craig.
"Have either of you spoken to your parents yet?" asked Spike.
Craig and Manny looked at eachother.
"I'll take that as a no," said Spike.
"Oh do we really have to tell them?" asked Manny in a jokingly sort of way.
"Yes you do," said Spike with a little laugh.
"How did you tell your mom?" asked Manny.
"I didn't," Spike siad, "She found my pregnancy test."
"I just don't know how to tell my parents," said Manny, "They're like super strict."
"And how am I going to tell Joey!" Craig screamed out.
"Okay, let's not freak out here," Spike said calmly,"To make it eaiser how about both of you tell your parents together."
"Can you please come too?" asked Manny.
"Sure, if it will help," said Spike.
Just then the door swung open. It was Emma and JT.
Emma saw Manny and Craig. Immedietly she knew what was going on.Jy
"Emma," said Manny, "Let me explain."
"I heard enough yesterday," said Emma.
Emma ran downstairs to her room while JT looked around at everyone confused.
"Okay," he said, "What's going on?"
Spike nodded at Manny to tell him.
"You see, JT," Manny started, "Well I kind of, well, I'm like, well..."
"What is it, Manny?" asked JT sounding very concerned.
"This isn't easy to say, but, I'm pregnant," said Manny looking down at the floor.
"With," Jt said as he looked at Craig, "Craig's baby?"
"Yeah," said Manny.
"But when did you two," JT stuttered, "You know like get together."
"While he was with Ash," said Manny feeling even more ashamed of herself.
"So you," JT said to Craig, "Cheated on Ashley?"
"Yeah, I guess," said Craig, who was also looking down at the floor.
"I'm gunna go downstairs with Emma," said JT.
JT ran downstairs and Manny started to cry. Craig and Spike hugged her.
"Why is everyone thinking so low of me!," Manny screamed, "Some people do it all the time and nothing happens! Why me?
Why did I have to get pregnant! I did it once!"
Manny got out of the hug and ran around the house and started knocking down things. She didn't care how fragile or expensive
they were. She was mad and angry at God for making her pregnant. Why did he do this to her. After punching a mirrior and
breaking the glass, Manny layed down in the middle of the hallway and just cried. She couldn't stop. She was mad and in
rage for what her life had come to. She was 14 and pregnant. She couldn't handle it. Of coarse Spike understood about being
pregnant at a young age. She once was. But still Manny felt lost, confused, hurt, angry, and unsure of what to do with the
baby.
"Manny?" asked Spike, unsure of what to say.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Nelson," said Manny.
"It's okay," said Spike, "Everything's okay."
"No," said Manny shaking her head, "It's not."
Manny started to cry hard again. Emma and JT came upstairs.
"Manny?" asked Emma, while looking around at her now half damaged house.
"Emma," she said, "I don't need your insults right now."
"I'm not gunna insult you, "said Emma, "I just want to talk to you...alone."
Spike, Craig, and JT got up and left the room.
Manny just sat there and sort of glared at Emma a little. Whatever Emma was going to say to her she knew nothing about.
Emma wasn't the one who is living every teenage girl's worst nightmare.
